Prevent ToolTip for child controls

Lets say I have following code in a WPF Window:

XML

<ct:CustomClass.CustomStack>
                        <StackPanel Name="TB1">
                            <Button ToolTip="Test Tip" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black" Name="btnModifier" Content="Click here"></Button>
                        </StackPanel>
                    </ct:CustomClass.CustomStack>

Where I have a custom stack panel property where I am adding a stackpanel with children in it.
Now as we see button has a tooltip here which will be displayed when mouse will hover on it.
I have no control over the button as it lies inside another window (some host application using my custom class).

Main question is I want that the tooltip for child control in stackpanel should never appear at runtime during mouse hover. How to achieve this in my custom class?

Note: I don't have any control over code in Host application window.xaml

Are you using styles to set the tooltips on the controls?

You question is not quite clear, as I dont see exactly what you want. Could a see a simple code snipplet with the problem?

No directly it can be set when the control is declared in a WPF Application. But what is the difference. User can update the value of tooltip at runtime also.

I would insted binded the Tooltips to an Observable collection of string, and binded these to the elements as they get added. MAkes it simpler.

You can however set the style on only the elements within the stackpanel see here:

I think you didn't understand my question.

First of all the thing is I don't have contorl over the host application window as another user can use the same class. I cannot ask them to bind it to observable collection and perform certain actions on it.
Second of all the main thing is I want is that tooltip should never appear when the control is added to the stackpanel. How to achieve this?
